To be followed or surrounded by an entourage of friends who never seem to be able to afford your lifestyle and thus sponge off you.

Standing at the bar ordering a drinks, everyone put their order in but when it came to paying, no one seemed to have cash. Excuses ranged from, "I lost my wallet in the toilet cubicle", "forgot my pin number at the atm" to "promise the next round is mine". My spongetourage is truly well and following me.
